About Rollins College

Set on a chain of lakes in Winter Park, Rollins College is known for discussion-driven classes and close faculty attention. Students sharpen writing and analytical skills across arts and sciences, with strengths in creative work, business-minded study, communication, and environmental thinking. Research, community projects, and study-away opportunities are part of the rhythm.

Campus resources include studios and performance spaces, updated labs, a busy library, and a waterfront for sailing or paddleboarding. Support includes advising, tutoring, counseling, and a career office that connects students to internships across metro Orlando. And the vibe is friendly and collaborative, and it's playful too thanks to the surprise Fox Day. Life outside class leans active, with service, intramurals, and Park Avenue museums and cafes nearby. Alumni ties aid career exploration. Fred Rogers studied here.
